Dunkin’ Donuts Treadmill
Dunkin’ Donuts currently uses the slogan: “America Runs on Dunkin’”. But donuts are fattening, so to get around criticisms for making fattening food, perhaps Dunkin’ Donuts should make and sell a literalization of their slogan: a treadmill using Dunkin’ Donuts as the wheels inside the treadmill belt. And they could also use Munchkins (donut holes) as ball bearings. And, naturally, there would be a delicious-looking donut hanging from a string in front of the treadmill as a means of making us walk or run on the treadmill (to try to get the donut), like a carrot dangling in front of a cart-horse encourages it to walk forward. And they could use the same “America Runs on Dunkin’” slogan to sell the donuts and the treadmill. Plus, then Dunkin’ Donuts could claim their slogan promotes good health as well as donuts.
